remove and install electric motors.

The workshop will be delivered through tutorials,
practical hands-on experience with motors and interactive discussion (client to set up the two motor test rigs as
they need to operate at 380V 3 phase).

Learning Objectives

To enable participants to safely and effectively
remove and replace 3-Phase electric motors, single
speed, direct-on-line, including disconnection, connection and checking for
correct rotation.
